The Intel® Solid-State Drive Data Center Family for SATA extends with the Intel® SSD DC S3710 Series. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series offers the next generation of data center SSDs optimized for write intensive performance with high endurance and strong data protection. FeaturesProven Data Center EnduranceDemanding applications require highly reliable storage coupled with consistent performance. The Intel® SSD DC S3710 Series is designed to meet the needs of these data center workloads with up to 10 full drives writes per day, delivering up to 30 times higher endurance than standard read-optimized data center SSDs. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is the perfect choice for applications demanding high write performance such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Definition Imaging and Video (HDIV), high data rate analytics and operational databases, large scale virtualization and Video on Demand content delivery.

Power-Efficient PerformanceThe Intel SSD DC S3710 Series accelerates data center performance with read-write throughput speeds up to 550/520 megabytes per second (MB/s) and 4K random read-write input/output operations per second (IOPs) up to 85,000/45,000. Applications benefit from 55 µs typical latency with max read latencies of 500 µs 99.9% of the time. Combining performance with low typical active power (less than 6.9 watts), the Intel SSD DC S3710 Series improves data center efficiency with superior quality of service and reduced energy costs.

Exceptional Quality and ReliabilityIntel® SSDs are known industry wide for quality and reliability. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is no exception. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is engineered to reduce downtime as a result of storage-related failures and designed to meet an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.44%. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series significantly reduces Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Held to the highest validation standards, the Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is analyzed in more than 5,000 unique tests. The Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is fully supported with Intel’s 5-year limited warranty and customer support.

Capacity and Form FactorsThe Intel SSD DC S3710 Series is available in a 2.5-inch form factor with capacities from 200GB to 1.2TB.

The arrival of the solid-state drive (SSD) has revolutionised the speed at which modern PCs perform common tasks. This is because SSDs have no moving parts, compared to larger, bulkier mechanical drives, thus they store information on memory chips. This means that accesses, reads and writes are many, many times faster

One of the greatest advances for PCs in recent years has been the introduction of solid-state drives (SSD). These storage drives hold information on flash memory that is managed by a processing chip called a controller. Advantages of SSDs over traditional spinning disks are numerous, from silent operation, lower power to significantly faster performance.
